"A Child's Voice Connection"  is a Mission that I have been working on for the past several months.   I am a 46 year old father and husband, married for 26 years and 3 wonderful children, one precious grandson.

 

I have been posting for several month's now on Dr Phil's Depression Site.  I wanted to separate my discussions of depression from this Campaign.

 

Goals of this campaign:

 

  • To be an active advocate for the purpose of preventing Child abuse and Abductions.
  • To Integrate as many Advocacy Groups out there for one common cause.  This includes "The Amber Alert" which is named after Amber Hagerman who was a nine year old girl who was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered in 1996.
  • Public Awareness and intervention of suspicious circumstances of a child who may be the victim of abuse by reporting to authorities, calling 911.
  • To teach the public which will include parents, teachers, law enforcement, clergymen the significance and magnitude of this problem.  According to Oprah Winfrey, every day 2000 children are reported abducted or missing. 
  • To teach children, on a scale based on their ages how to avoid penitentially dangerous situations.  To teach them the realization of statistics and dangers,  and stories of other little girls and some little boys who have been abducted.  Especially the most well known and recent cases such as Amber Hagerman, Jessica Lunsford, Carlie Brucia, and others.
  • This is critical.  To teach little boys, on a sliding scale based on age, the SIGNIFICANCE AND LIFE LONG NEGATIVE IMPACT AND SEVERE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT LITTLE GIRLS WILL SUFFER BECAUSE of THEIR ACTIONS.
  • I believe that if we increase our efforts 100 fold, which is totally possible, that we can reduce this horrific and disgusting and terrible assaults on our children by at least 50%.
  • My goal is to eliminate child abuse and abductions. 
  • Statistics say that 1 or 4 children are molested by the age of 18.  I believe that it is more life 50% or greater.  This is sickening and MUST BE STOPPED.
  • I would like to thank Oprah for her contributions to our children and her campaign to fight child abuse, and I share the same convictions as Oprah and hope that this message board will serve to help in this campaign.
  • I am an ordained minister and the is my calling.  I am going to work with the local Law Enforcement Agencies, The Amber Alert program, Churches, communities, and Neighborhood watches.

Summary.  Educate, protect and be as straight forward as possible to stop this madness.  TO get the communities involved, and have a plan of action which I am working on in the event of an abduction.

 

Please join this discussion and I am going to provide an email address to forward any questions and/or comments to related to this topic.

Thank you DJ... I brought forward since you want to add to front... Have a blessed day DJ and everyone... Remember as DJ says: AWARENESS

Quote From: djmatt

While I am struggling to make through the days, I have the support of the wonderful group of people who are so willing to assist and concerned about this campaign.  You have posted a wealth of information (contacts), although I am having trouble keeping up right now, GOD will work things out. 

  

Thanks for your strength, you backing and support to this cause.  And I don't want anyone to feel that I don't appreciate your efforts and support as well.  This is a GROUP EFFORT, and this campaign will be rolling right along soon. 

  

I have some other issues but I will post on the depression site. 

  

I will add these links and contacts to the heading of the message board. 

  

Sincerely,

Quote From: heather175

I am very happy and very touched to see someone get a calling from God and just put so much into it like you have. The more people that speak up and act for this cause the safer our children will be. 

God Bless you and if there is anything I can do on my end to assist PLEASE let me know. I'd be more than honored to help in any way I can. 

  

Heather 

My drive in this matter will remain steadfast.  And although our group is small, every one counts.  I really appreciate you jumping in and joining with the rest of us. 

  

All I need is for you to remain a part of this group, try to influence your friends and relatives to join in, and to pray.  Be steadfast. 

  

This movement may seem slow at this point, but our Lord will prevail, and anytime his people come together for a legitimate cause, he will be there. There's a Bible verse, and I can't remember the exact wording, but it basically says that even if 2 or three people are gathered in his name, he will be there.  And that's what I see here. 

  

I am going to try to contact some law enforcement officials today who specialize in the Child Abuse issue and find out how to access a list of sex offenders. 

  

Heather, you seem like a very kind and concerned person,  please stay with me, and may GOD BLESS. 

  

Awareness.

Having visited the site http://www.standupforkids.org only briefly, it is obvious to me that Turn Purple and Stand Up for Our Kids is self explanatory. 

  

We should put forth all of our strength and efforts.  And we shall preach, teach and spread the word until we are purple in the face,  We shall scream at the top of our voices the horrible tragedies are so needless and so many are so preventable.  We need to stand on the street corners, the mountain tops and proclaim the protection of our children. 

  

TO EVERYONE: I shall say a small prayer, and please pray with me as you read this, and the prayers posted by SEA and others. 

  

Let us pray: 

  

Dear Almighty GOD, in thy presence we are willing to make sacrifices and to Turn Purple for our Children.  We know that you are the omniscient and omnipotent beholder of the universe, and we need  strength from you, dear Lord, to push this movement forward in a powerful and effective way. 

  

GOD, be with our CHILDREN, who deserve love and protection from this society and give us the STRENGTH, KNOWLEDGE, AND TOOLS to fight this campaign.  Please help us to protect our innocent, beautiful, and helpless children, for there are so many who are abused and many lose their lives at the hands of those who are evil. 

  

Give us the determination, the strength to fight the evil one, and to put an end to this age old sickening practice of predators using our children and disposing of them, 

  

Please give us the resources to reach out across this nation, and around the world, to put my plan in action and to make it effective and STOP the child abuse. 

  

I am here to serve, O Lord, as you have commissioned me to move forward with this campaign.  And the fact that I have struggled, and am in severe pain is only another obstacle of Satan, but I shall not stand for it.  I will not allow satan to disrupt this Campaign, and it is only thru your strength that I can accomplish this. 

  

Bless this group of people who are joined together in unity and for the same cause.  Put the fire and desire into many hearts of people to join this campaign, and SAVE OUR CHILDREN. 

  

AMEN 

  

AWARENESS.  This is the key to all things.  If we are reminded on a daily basis of the needs and reality of this horrific terror, then shall we move forward.

djmatt AKA dj phil, explination

Labelfree has requested that I explain this signature for those of you who are new comers to this site. 

  

God has given me a gift, as he has given many others on this site, and the depression board.  When I posted my email,(which I will have a new address for this cause soon), some people refereed to me as Dr Phil.  This was an honor and I tried not to let it go to my head.  I am a long ways from being Dr Phil. 

  

But I have studied psychology over the years.  I am 46 years old, and I was ordained as a minister when I was 22 years old.  I spent more time reading my Bible and praying, and my school work went slack.  This was OK, because it was all in God's Plan.  By the time I was about 17 or 18, I can't remember for sure, I had read the King James version of the Bible, Old and New Testaments from cover to cover, WITH CONVICTION.  Not skimming thru, but actually reading word for word, and studying the contents. 

  

There is a lot to learn about the subject of psychology in the Bible.  I have no specific examples at this time, but the Bible reveals how many of the scholars and notable individuals thought. 

  

I have been in management and/or supervisor capacities for over 20 years.  I learned a lot about people, and how to handle a lot of situations.   

  

note:  I have always been in leadership roles in one form or another.  I was teaching Sunday School at the age of about 16 or 17 years of age.  And whatever environment I have been a part of, people always tended to come to me with their problems.  I never thought much of this, but thinking back, I believe that I have helped a lot of people over the years through my counseling. 

  

I am not patting myself on the back.  Neither am I giving my self any status of authority.  I am but a servant of GOD, and a helper of mankind. 

  

Once I received these emails, and several referred to me as Dr Phil in one way or another, I decided to us djphil, and.or djmatt AKA dj Phil.. 

  

The djmatt is broken down: d =the initial of my first name,  j is the initial of my wife's first name, and Matt, part of our last name. 

  

I just wanted everyone to be clear on this.  If anyone has a legitimate reason that I not use this signature, I am willing to listen. 

  

Thanks

Hi Djmatt and everyone

Does anyone here have a state law where registered sex offenders are suppose to stay so many feet from schools?  Nebraska is currently trying to pass a bill that would make registered offenders stay like 1000 feet away from schools.
Here is why they are thinking of passing this law.   There was a 5 year old that was molested at one of the grade schools here in Lincoln about two months ago.  (In fact it's the school I go to for the YWCA....but didn't know the little boy). The guy that molested this little boy lived way across town and took a bus to the school. He was a stranger to the school, didn't work there or anything.  He hid in the boy's bathroom waiting for a kid to come in.  A teacher did see him come into the building and reported it to the office.  They put the school on "code red" and made students stay inside classrooms, but it was too late.  A little boy went into the bathroom and it happened in just a few minutes.   This guy had sexually molested before.  He served little time for the previous molestation and was out on probation.  
So after that happened, they are trying to pass this bill. They have made it mandatory that schools lock all doors but one, and that door has a security officer watching it, which I think is good.  But I don't see how this bill is going to work.   I'm thinking, moving sex offenders away isn't going to do a darn thing. Look at the guy I wrote about.  He went across town.  If they have the urge to molest, they will drive, take a cab or bus to get to their victims.  Right?  They will find a way!
So I was just wondering if any of your states had this law and if it proved to be effective.   I personally think it sounds useless and bills like Carlie's law should be passed instead (longer punishment for offenders).

Hi....

Quote From: djmatt

I completely understand your frustrations with the "real world". There are a lot of people int this society who are out for themselves at any cost to others.  I can relate to that with the employers who mistreated me severely up until the day I went on disability.    

  

I have fought nail and tooth to keep a job because of him, I have caught him in lies, and people have witnessed his unwarranted attacks on me.  I was released to go back to work by my doctor today.  Although I told him that I do good do drag myself out of the bed and I am on the floor and in serious pain a significant amount of time. 

  

I will just have to deal with this.  I am currently seeking employment for the disabled. 

  

From your statement about "being too nice", does that mean you are a supervisor?  I have been in supervisory positions for 20 years +.  I learned that you have to treat individuals with dignity and respect, and they will return the favor.  If they don't, then I would always look at the whole person and see if there are specific issues that are many times misunderstandings.  I have gone out of the way many times, and helped my employees, and they in turn save my job when I was being attacked and harassed by my supervisor, and he was going to resort to getting me fired.  All of my employees stood up for me, and he dropped his vendetta. 

  

I am praying hard for you.  I would like to know if you are seeing a counselor at this time, if that is any of my business?  Although you cannot rationalize a link between your childhood abuse and current difficulties, there may be some connections that you are not aware of.  I will not press this issue, but it took a long time for me to relate some of my struggles to my childhood.  There was some abuse and it has been manifested in various forms. 

  

Take care.  Thank you for being so supportive and your kind words.  Without you and others, I would not have come this far. 

  

soon, 

  

dj 

I was going to therapy but let the very 100 percent truth be told without be conceited I KNEW MORE about THERAPY than the Therapist!  She wanted to girl gab and I wanted to roll up my sleeves and purge the rest of the BS. 

  

I thought I knew all about EVEY SINGLE one of my triggers until I saw this show about pedophiles, and sex abusers and right to the core of me I cried and got sickened.  Note to self another trigger was born...don't watch these shows!~ 

  

I have had 14 years of therapy, 2 phychwards, 2 drug rehabs,  I'm done with.....Unless THE INTERNATIONAL GURU OF THE MIND CAN STEP IN AND HELP I have exhausted all possibilities out here.  The mental joints out here are nothing but fabricated insurance tak4ers and the top dogs out here have been put before courts.  The "Experts in PT SD"  I was told I met the criteria to meet was a scam too just as I suspected.  It was a STUDY my therapist put me in which PISSED ME OFF the guiepig factor once again....so I just said to myself NOT AGAIN!~ 

  

I am back to just taking my pills and starting to be lost again!~ 

  

I think you should sign you name djmatt aka Drphil  that was cute.... 

  

I don't talk to anyone butt SEA our Earth angel from Dallas.  The other board Borderline made me feel terrible and the depression board with the exception of SEA and like 4 others is filled with Bullies trying to lasso others to some friend board. 

  

Isn't that soooooo sad?
